[ my public key: Would be pretty useless to you. ]
- nurettinSpecial mention and thanks to headius (Charles Oliver Nutter) for his contributions to JRuby, he enabled many of my cross-platform projects back in 201* which would have been harder to build without the expressive and terse syntax Ruby provides and the ability to run jvm pretty much anywhere.
- It used to be "don't try to outsmart the compiler", I'm waiting for the time people start saying the same thing about LLMs.
- Interesting. I develop two projects and maintain a few. I haven't opened an IDE within the past two weeks. What do you do with an IDE? Stare as code is written, refactored, tested and debugged automatically?
- I am very happy and sad for people who will never debug their own code for days to figure out subtle bugs. Happy because they won't endure the torture, sad because an LLM took away their opportunity to learn and better themselves.
- I had a colleague who was hostile to any language other than common lisp. Except python, which I assume is just because this page exists. What if norvig woke up that day and decided to write about Ruby instead?
- What happened in 2017?
- Glad you remembered in the end!
- That's a surprising amount of investment, well done and godspeed.
- To be fair, you may find equally capable random people in this thread, doesn't mean they speak with any kind of authority.

They are probably reselling from hetzner/vultr

Shoot for the stars, I guess.
- I was contacted by a spanish HR agency, they said that my github contained code that they considered an outlier and would like to forward some job applications. Never heard of them since. Maybe scraping github for talent isn't good business.
- I enjoy all of the above and not the bland, droning, tasteless, pointless "learn the next mechanic" JB games. YMMV.
BTW the talos principle AI referred to itself as yahweh, if you ever read the bible.
Edit: and chess is uniquely lore-heavy. Even the openings have openings and everything is tied to history. I'm surprised it is even brought up in comparison at all.
- Great, maybe highlight the item so we can distinguish the picked item from the others without scrolling.
- > You don't need a story or a point in them.
Well, that was pretentious.
- I didn't see him brag that much, but he says things like don't start with being a web dev, JavaScript kills your prospects of becoming a better programmer, etc. He probably thinks that formal education and books that teach people how a computer works and how to code in different paradigms don't exist, that everyone is a wannabe who only learns on hand at a job like he did.
His job recommendation: "there are so many things you can do, go to SpaceX!". Better life advice would be to learn your fundamentals (computer architecture, fp, algos) and be knowledgeable about the direction the industry is going instead of finding some niche and pouting at everything else.
- Let's dilute the thread. I did half the game and stopped playing. Not really got stuck, just got exhausted. It is a chore, I get what it is doing, the progression and addition of new mechanics while preserving the old ones yeah great whoopdi do.
But there are games which are a lot more immersive and have an actual point and have better physics based puzzles and an actual story like portal and talos principle that don't make you feel like you are remotely debugging a crash on saturday night while everyone else is having fun. You either get that or not.
- > Anything in any language can be very verbose and confusing if you one-line it or obfuscate it or otherwise write it in a deliberately confusing manner.
That type was not intentionally obfuscated or complex, it is actually pretty common to see such things. YMMV.
- It would creep me out if the model produced origami animals for that prompt.
- Better than LGPL which prevents you from static linking even if you give attribution.
